This one is something that I never realized I had as an advantage until recently.

I have the gift of slumber. I sleep hard, and falling asleep is not difficult. I believe that I gained this talent from camping in the same camper as my father. His snoring can rock you off a chair. Our camping neighbors would complain of the noise, yet my sister and I woke up none the wiser that anything even happened during the night.

The only thing that can prevent me from falling asleep is being cold. I think this is just my impatience to fall asleep, but my mother helped me overcome this and relax myself at the same time. All I do is imagine a small fire inside my belly. Then I imagine the fire spreading slowly to my appendages, watching until they reach the tips of my fingers and toes. It works I tell you. Once I reach my toes, I’m passed out.

I am grateful that I can sleep in any environment, at any time, at almost any temperature!
